404 - Page Not Found Error on Clicking the Media Tab

The Problem

You have just installed rtMedia. You get a Page Not Found(404) error message on trying to access the media tabs.

The Solution

rtMedia uses a custom permalink structure. To use rtMedia, pretty permalinks must be enabled. First check if they are enabled.

When rtMedia is freshly installed, it refreshes WordPress's permalinks, automatically. At times, this does not happen and you have to manually refresh them. To do so, go to, Settings >> Permalinks and just Save Changes. This will refresh the permalink settings and rtMedia custom permalinks will start working with WordPress.

Note:

If the media tabs still display the 'page not found' error, the problem is usually another plugin that also uses custom permalinks. If such a plugin does not follow the standard hooks and actions provided by WordPress, it can break rtMedia's permalink structure.
